Over the month of February it seems like a good time to read some cute, cheesy love stories. So here is a list of some cute novels for Valentines day (or the lead up to it..).

This book will make you cringe, blush and smile into your hand. This is the perfect book to get you in the 'romantic' spirit.

Favourite Books | Books

Hello lovelies.

With reading sometimes you come across a novel that makes you think, or cry (that's most of the time for me), or smile, or even make you want to chuck the book across the other side of the room. But either way, it made you feel something and you will always remember that when you see that particular book.

So here is a list of my favorite books in a short, no spoiler review.

We Were Liars - E. Lockhart
I just - no words! No words!

Benefit Foundation Review

Recently I was in the city and decided to purchase my first ever Benefit product. I have heard amazing things about their foundation, Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow, so I decided to splurge and buy it. I live in Australia so it was quite expensive ($55 au) but it was completely worth it.

 

 

If you have dry skin this works a treat. It didn't feel heavy or like it was blocking my pores. It almost felt like I didn't have any makeup on which is great for school. It has light coverage though, but is buildable. I usually just put medium coverage which works well with my skin tone. With saying that, I would recommend (if you want to buy online) to go into the store and get matched up. I know I was looking at the colours online and thought I found the right colour but I went into the store just in case, I was actually wrong by two shades.

 
But I have to say that this foundation was one of the best I have ever bought, and I highly recommend it!
